ARRL Test Sessions

Our VE Liaison, David Pomerantz (KO4DKN), is doing a fantastic job running our test sessions. We have been continuously testing since January 2023. David drives from Boynton Beach to Davie to oversee the test sessions. Thank you very much, David, for the hard work and the extra care you put into this. The club appreciates you very much.

The Test Sessions will be held at the Community Church of Davie.
